Hyderabad, September 05, 2022 (PPI-OT):In a horrifying incident, some unidentified persons vandalized a cab after forcing its Muslim driver to raise some religious slogans in Hyderabad. The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday in Alka Pur under the limits of Narsingi Police Station of cyber Abad Police Commissionerate.

Syed Lateefuddin, a cab driver, working with ride-hailing app Uber, said that a group of six unidentified fanatics on motorcycles chased him when he was on his way to pick up a passenger. They forced him to stop the car and then asked him to raise some religious slogans. When he refused, they attacked his car with boulders.

“They started banging on the window. When I opened, they demanded that I raise religious slogans (of another community). When I refused, they turned aggressive. Sensing trouble, I pressed on the gas and sped away, but they chased me on two bikes. To my misfortune, I hit a dead end,” the driver told the media. Then the fanatics thrashed him and wrecked his car.

Lateefuddin, a resident of Chandrayangutta in the old city, however, escaped to save himself. He contacted police through phone but when police personnel reached the spot the attackers had fled. A case has been registered at Narsingi Police Station.
